16. New Mexico has incredible Mexican cuisine.

Forget Tex-Mex and SoCal Mex. In New Mexico they take things seriously up a few notches. And the peppers!!! Wow!

I love New Mexican food. I had an enchilada with unsweetened chocolate in the sauce. It was absolutely incredible. It was a little town southwest of Santa Fe.

I was driving from CA to MI and pulled over for gasoline. I had a reservation at a motel on the other side of Santa Fe but did not want to eat dinner there. Two local cops were paying for their gasoline at the same time as I was. I told them that I was driving cross-country and was looking for a good local restaurant with Mexican food, but would prefer a local place. They were really cool and were very happy to help. They even drew me a map to a little, out of the way, place.

Well, the food was fabulous. And when I told them that two local cops gave me directions they were not surprised.

Indeed, New Mexican food is unique, and something quite wonderful.

If you were really into Christiantiy, Pentacost is the day you would be celebrating more than Easter Hoppy Apr 2015 #13

Well we are about 50 days early, but that's OK! NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #15

No. The Resurrection is the core of Christianity. Pentecost is its beginning. rug Apr 2015 #36

The timing of the feast with the arrival of spring is not a coincidence, IMHO. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #19

According to my mentor 2naSalit Apr 2015 #21

Oh, I don't acutally have any here but if I visit a home that has a Peep, I might bite one. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #23
